Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Kenehi 9

Deli

Ka mea te Atua, “Ko te tohu tēnei o te kawenata, e whakatakotoria nei e ahau ki waenganui ōku, o koutou tae atu ki ngā mea ora katoa i a koutou, mō ngā whakatupuranga mutungakore: ka whakatakotoria e ahau tāku kōpere ki te kapua, ā, ka waiho hei tohu mō te kawenata i waenganui ōku, o te whenua.

Ā, ka piri te kōpere ki te kapua; ā, ka titiro atu ahau ki taua mea, kia mahara ai ahau ki te kawenata mau tonu i waenganui o te Atua, o ngā wairua ora katoa o ngā kikokiko katoa runga i te whenua.”

Ko ia e whakaheke i ngā toto o te tangata, mā te tangata anō ōna toto e whakaheke; nō te Atua hoki te āhua i hangā ai e ia te tangata.

Nā, ka manaakitia a Noa rātou ko āna tama e te Atua, i mea ia ki a rātou, “Kia hua, kia tini koutou, kia kapi anō hoki te whenua i a koutou.

Hei kai mā koutou ngā mea korikori katoa, ngā mea ora; rite tonu ki tāku hoatutanga i ngā otaota matomato tāku hoatutanga i ngā mea katoa ki a koutou.

Ā, ko tō koutou wehi, ko tō koutou whakamataku, ka tau ki runga ki ngā kīrehe katoa o te whenua, ki ngā manu katoa o te rangi, ki ngā mea katoa e ngahue ana i runga i te whenua, ki ngā ika katoa anō hoki o te moana; kua hoatu ēnā mea ki tō koutou ringa.

Ā, ko koutou, kia hua, kia tini; kia nui tō koutou uri ki runga ki te whenua, kia tini hoki ki reira.”
